Produktbeschreibung

This book critically assesses patterns and issues in both the substantive law and policy environment impacting on foreign investment flows in major Asian economies, and dispute resolution law and practice related to those flows. The book offers a detailed comparative study attentive to socio-economic context and competing theories of the role of law in Asia. Contributions come from academics with extensive country-specific expertise, and often considerable practical experience. The chapters analyse the law and practice of investment treaties and FDI regimes in Asia looking specifically at developments in Japan, India, Bangladesh, China, Indonesia and Malaysia, Korea and Vietnam. The book considers the impact of the Asian Financial Crisis in the late 1990s and the Global Financial Crisis a decade later, examining the shifts in FDI and capital flows in Asia that have resulted from these crises.
